INDIA vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL World Cup 2023: India annihilate Sri Lanka by 302 runs to storm into semis
02 Nov, 2023 | 09:15:35 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score - IND vs SL: Virat Kohli once again missed out on a record equalling 49th ODI hundred but Indian batters made merry on a flat deck to score a mammoth 357 for 8 against Sri Lanka in a World Cup match on Thursday.
Kohli (88 off 94 balls), who previously missed out on equalling Sachin Tendulkar's 49th ODI ton, against New Zealand in Dharamsala, enjoyed a 189-run second wicket stand with his heir apparent Shubman Gill, who looked a million dollars during his run-a-ball 92.
After a mini-slump, it was Shreyas Iyer (82 off 56 balls), who feasted against a mediocre bowling attack on a placid track, to get some form back before the match against South Africa at Eden Gardens, which will be played on a spicier track.
Starting briskly with a flurry of sixes, Iyer's innings was instrumental in taking India past 350 after they lost both Gill and Kohli in quick succession. His innings featured six sixes and three fours.
Dilshan Madushanka (5/80 in 10 overs), who bowled a peach of a delivery to get skipper Rohit Sharma (4) first up, also denied all three Indian batters, what would have been deserving hundreds. He used the slower cutters and bouncers to good effect during his second and third spells.
Kohli and Gill weathered the storm adequately well to get through the initial overs and piled up a mountain of runs to put India on top.
In the sixth over, Dushmantha Chameera almost had Kohli's wicket but could not hold on to a return catch on his follow-through which saw the ball popping out.
Beginning with a risk-free approach, Kohli and Gill stitched India's highest-ever partnership in this World Cup for any wicket, putting on 189 runs from just 179 balls for the second wicket as India took complete control.
Kohli looked primed to equal the legendary Tendulkar's tally of most ODI centuries but met with a soft end, lobbing a straight catch to cover after a masterful 88 from 94 balls which included 11 fours. The ball stopped on him as he was committed on the drive but it hit the upper part of the blade to balloon up.
Gill started slowly but produced a compelling knock that brought him close to his first century of the tournament. Gill's first runs came off the ninth ball that he faced, but there was no stopping the fluent batter once he pulled Madushanka with command for a four to mid-wicket and followed up with a fabulous backfoot punch on the next delivery.
Gill also looked set for his first ton of the tournament but looking to guide a bouncer from Madushanka, he was cramped for room and caught behind for a run-a-ball 92 featuring 11 fours and two sixes.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Pitch report by Ricky Ponting and Michael Atherton
India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: It is the same pitch as the ENG v SA match - 64m and 69m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 76m. The pitch has a bit of shine, suggesting that it won't lose its pace as the match unfolds. Bowlers face the challenge of consistently hitting a length between 6.5 and 7.1 meters, known as a hard length that's challenging for batsmen. The weather is warm, and the pitch seems favorable for scoring runs, so the captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first. (Via TOI)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Ashwin expected in today's playing XI for India
India vs Sri Lanka Live: India skipper Rohit Sharma asserted on Wednesday that despite the workload on his bowlers during the World Cup they were in "great rhythm" and willing to give off their best without wanting any rest. The skipper did hint inclusion of another spinner in the playing XI, therefore fans may expect Ravichandran Ashwin in action today.
"All sorts of combinations are possible. You can still play with three spinners and two seamers if need be," the skipper said in response to a query if there will be changes in the bowling line-up for the game against Sri Lanka.
"In this World Cup, you have seen spinners actually are the ones who are stopping that run-flow in the middle overs. I am keeping my options open, whether we have Hardik (Pandya) or not, at this point in time to play three spinners or not," he said.
"If the situation demands for us to play three spinners, we will play three spinners. I feel spinners actually with a lot of skill-set can put the brakes on the scoring rate in the middle overs. Our spinners have got so much skill bowling in these conditions," he added.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates:"Defeat in Asia Cup will give motivation to boys"
India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Sri Lanka Coach Silverwood feels that the defeat in the Asia Cup final will act as fuel for the team to compete against the unbeaten Indian team on Thursday.
"I would like to think that the defeat in the Asia Cup will add some motivation. I'd rather hope that the defeat in the Asia Cup would give more motivation to the boys to come out and obviously fight tomorrow, show plenty of spirit... They're a very good side, we know that, we've seen them play some superb cricket this tournament so far. But I think it's a good opportunity for our boys to show what they're made of as well. So hopefully, the defeat in the Asia Cup will give motivation to the boys," Silverwood said at the pre-match press conference.
India will be looking to replicate the result of their last World Cup encounter at the Wankhede Stadium. With the past working against the Sri Lankan team, Silverwood admitted that the team is aware of the history and will be motivated to perform against the Men in Blue.
"Yeah, the boys are very aware of the history, to be honest. Obviously, players do talk about past history of their team as well and the results that they've had. But I mean, let's be honest, it's a great stadium. We walked in today and the first thing you do is go, wow, this is a great place to play cricket. And when you stood out in the middle, you get that sort of goosebumps. So, for me, there's plenty of things out there to motivate them to go perform in front of what will be a packed house tomorrow as well," Silverwood added.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: What exactly is the India v Sri Lanka rivalry?
India vs Sri Lanka Live: India v Pakistan is a rivalry of one kind, Pakistan v Afghanistan has a definite edge, and Sri Lanka v Bangladesh has taken on a life of its own, even with one team dominating the other. What exactly is the India v Sri Lanka rivalry?
Over the years, it has been one of friendship and one of being allies. However, this is not to say that it has been easy. There are many layers and nuances, differences and points of distinction, even if only 40 kilometres separates the two countries by sea.
On the field, the relationship between players has always been one of mutual respect. India have won more, are the most powerful board and often acts high-handedly towards its less fortunate neighbours. Most recently the home team at the Asia Cup was made to feel like they, among others, were only there to make up the numbers. There was a reserve day for an India-Pakistan league match as if that was all that mattered and for none of the other games.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Sri Lanka's focus on death batting, bowling in middle overs, says coach Silverwood
India vs Sri Lanka Live: These two segments of play, death batting, bowling in middle overs, were noticed as their Achilles heel during the match against Afghanistan as Sri Lanka failed to put up a big score and then could not stop Afghanistan from chasing the modest target, losing only three wickets.
Sri Lanka head coach Chris Silverwood said these are two areas they have spoken about within the team after the defeat to Afghanistan.
"When we do get a good start it's making sure that we finish innings off strong and obviously push on to big scores, and then taking wickets in the middle phase is something that we're constantly working on. It's not easy on good wickets but we have to find a way and we have to find a way of taking those wickets. Otherwise, you're allowing other people to get big scores, making our lives difficult," said Silverwood in his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with India on Thursday.
